I've just moved into a flat in a small block of 8 flats. All the water for the flat appears to come in via a pipe under the kitchen sink (shut off at floor level then up to kitchen cold tap and along through the wall to bathroom and heating, hot water comes back through the wall).
I had assumed that this meant the whole place must be mains fed (water pressure at all taps is high) - there is no cold tank in the flat. However after running a bath I can hear a tank filling above us (presumably in the loft space), witch stops five or so minutes later.
Doesn't this mean that the water coming in is all from a tank, and therefore so is the kitchen cold tap? Is this allowed? It's a late 1960s build.
